I've recently purchased a 50cc Honda Motorcycle. It has street legal tires, blinkers, headlights, mud flaps and even a dink little horn.
I went down to my local DMV and tried to figure out if a 50cc bike is required to be registered AND if the driver has to be licence but neither the people working at the DMV knew nor did any of their books clearly state if it was or not.
Anyone know where I can at least look up the laws? I live in Kootenai County, Idaho.

too bad you don't live in Minnesota! here you can ride one down the side of the road just like it were a mountain-bike or "10-speed". The funniest part is ...you only need to be 12 years and older.
The one catch is, when making left turns you are supposed to walk it (just go slowly) accross in the crosswalks.
You don't need a license or anything else though.
